Deflection Sliding Mode Control of a Flexible Bar Using a Shape Memory Alloy Actuator with an Uncertainty Model

This paper presents a penalty-based sliding mode control (SMC) law for flexible bar system, which uses shape memory alloy (SMA) as actuator. SMA actuators are lightweight, compact and flexible which facilitate their integration into flexible structures. The proposed control law manipulates SMA curre...
